"The statue called "The Naked Truth," designated a city landmark in 1969, was controversial before it was even built. It is a memorial to Dr. Emil Preetorius, Carl Schurz and Carl Daenzer, German-American editors of the St. Louis Westliche Post."

Huge steel kinetic sculpture called "K." (symbolizing face of famous Prague' writer Franz Kafka), another work of "enfant terrible" of the Czech art scene David Cerný, decorates small public space at newly opened shopping centre Quadrio in Prague.

The two statues are mounted in niches over the entrances to St John's Old School that was built in 1760. The building ceased teaching in the mid 20th century and was converted to houses. The statues were probably totally refurbished at that time.

"The idea for the sculpture began in 1992 with Isaiah Williams, a Ponca Indian, who wanted to honor the State's original residents. It was dedicated one year after the 100th anniversary of the Sept. 16, 1893 Cherokee strip land run." ~ Smithsonian
